Good experience. Overall just wish the waitress would’ve came up to us and asked us for drinks. She only came once, which was in the beginning of sitting us down.

We came here for hour happy hour after a visit to SFMoMA. We had great wine and shareables — calamari, kale salad, fried chicken sliders and roasted brussel spouts. Everything was delicious! We had a really delightful waitress and were greeted nicely when we entered. Would definitely do a repeat visit!

Breakfast eggs were not tasty and not prepared the way you expect from 5 star hotel. Probably a corner restaurant makes it much better.
